Description
Intel will be releasing their new RealSense 3D camera soon. Unfortunately the list of officially supported OSes includes only one item, Windows 8. I already have a working PCL grabber that uses official SDK for Windows. It's more or less complete and will be integrated in the mainstream PCL soon.
A more interesting topic is support for RealSense cameras on Linux. @teknotus has been working on this for several months and has managed to get color, depth, and IR data from the camera on Linux. He also has a Qt-based app to view the streamed images.
In this issue I propose to discuss how we can integrate RealSense support into PCL for Linux.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked working PCL grabber and the depthview application to understand their Linux RealSense support. Determine how color, depth, and IR streaming could be integrated into PCL; done means PCL supports RealSense cameras on Linux, but the issue does not name specific files or tests.
